Moroccan king's letter confirms naming of major highway in honour of Trump
The highway enters Western Sahara, a disputed territory that Morocco claims sovereignty over.
Source excerpt
A letter from Morocco's King Mohammed VI has confirmed that the country has named a major highway after US President Donald Trump.
Last week, in a social media post, Trump thanked the king for the honour, but there was not a parallel announcement from the Moroccan authorities.
But Morocco's state press agency has published a letter the king wrote to the president telling him that the name-change was taking place as "a personal expression of my high regard".
Formerly the Tiznit-Dakhla highway, the road enters Western Sahara, most of which Morocco occupies and claims sovereignty over.
